We are beginning to develop wider links with more local agencies, e.g. Housing Department and Social Work, and voluntary organisations who contact us with requests for specific items, so we need to organise our storage unit so that we can repond quickly.  We want to purchase racking and clear boxes to store items in plus clothes rails to hang clothes to enable this.  Estimated costs: heavy duty shelving £1,790.42 +VAT, heavy duty clothes rails £120.00 and storage boxes £38.00.

We are committed to keeping an inclusive and supportive environment for all participants and the funding would be helping the 74 children who currently attend DASS (we're hoping more will join with the new P1 intake).  The project will be to purchase Arts and Crafts items.  Our young people currently freely use the outdoor spaces on the land for physcial activity but we greatly miss Arts and Crafts.  The objective is to help our young people enjoy their experience in our service whilst using their own expressive ways to communicate and have fun, learn and create. We like to give our young people freedom to be creative and to work on project themes directed by staff.  We will work on making items from our environment like tunnels and creating images and characters important to the individual for example; making a cat or a house out of crafts.  We will be offering painting, cutting and glue work, coloured card activities, clay work, string work, crayons, pipe cleaning and paper plates along with buttons, cotton balls, tapes, etc. We would greatly appreciate the chance to provide this service again.
